First day of fall 10.5.11

Fur vest: Forever 21, White shirt: Old Navy, Black leather boots: Target, Brown leather bag: Nordstrom

I could smell it on the crisp, cool breeze that sweeps up already-fallen leaves, then scatters them into puddles, formed after an overnight rain that scrubbed the earth clean. Chill nipped my bare hands, sending the first shivers of the season zipping up my spine. I sloshed my way to school, all the while wishing I could curl up in bed with a nice novel, a fleece blanket and a hot cup of tea.

Today it finally felt like fall.

Capri Romper 06.08.11

Romper-Nordstrom, Belt-Urban Outfitters, Shoes-Target, Hat- Forever 21

It's starting to feel like summer! The sun has finally made an appearance, and allowed me to whip out some warm weather clothes like this light and comfy capri romper, which is simple and versatile and will be perfect for travelling.

Singing in the Rain

Shirt- $10 Store in Santa Barbara, Pants- Forever 21, Belt- Nordstrom, Boots- (as if you haven't seen these already :)) Steve Madden

 

It was raining today, hence the umbrella. I seriously love this umbrella, not only because it keeps me from getting soaked on days like this, but just because it is so darn cute! I tied my skinny brown belt around my waist to give this oversized shirt a tad more shape. You can sort of see it peeking out from under my arms (that I just realized are slightly obscuring it in the photo above… oops ha ha).

I've been on the lookout for an umbrella like this one for a while, so when I randomly came across this one in some obscure pharmacy, it was hard to resist the urge to jump up and down at my luck :)

Red Pants

Pants-Forever 21, T-shirt-Delias, Blazer-Nordstrom

Wore my red pants today! I pulled out this old t-shirt from the back of my closet to wear with them.
The weather was really gloomy today, and its only going to get worse tomorrow... I am so ready for spring and summer! Anyone else?

Rain, Rain Go Away

It's been really dark and rainy where I live :( and so the past few days its been really hard to take outfit photos to post. But today I just decided to go for it. In real life, the jacket isn't nearly as orange or...err... plastic as it looks, in this photo (flash is not my friend) but you get the gist :) Not exactly the most creative look, but it's comfy and warm and has become the outfit that I just throw on when I'm in a hurry and don't know what to wear.


Brown Faux-Leather Jacket-Sakks Off Fifth, Jeans-Zara, Boots- Steve Madden, Belt-Nordstrom

I recently got a cape that I'm excited to share with you guys, so hopefully tomorrow will be sunnier so I can get a nice photo of it!

On another note, I've been obsessively searching for a not-to-long, not-to-short, not-to heavy, not-to-shapeless olive green parka after seeing a photo of Amee from Song of Style wearing a really cute one a few weeks ago. While I was out and about earlier this week I decided to stop into H&M and, there it was. Not the same parka of course but one that fit all of the above criteria and is not ridiculously expensive.

So I have a lot to share with you guys (I'm planning on working on the Remix Challenge this weekend as well) so you can expect lots more posts coming your way! Off to work on the Spanish homework that I probably should have started an hour ago... ahh why does Blogger have to be so addicting.
